Love the choice of frames BUT Pop-specs need to be more accurate and transparent with pricing. Tinted lenses advertised as an extra £30. First, the graduated tints were not available in the colour I'd... See more

Pop specs, Nottingham …

Was served by the lovely and stylish lady Sunita today at the Nottingham, Victoria centre branch, very friendly and chatty, helped and advised me on getting the perfect pair, looking forward to collecting them soon.

Fabulous, efficient, friendly service.

I had purchased new glasses in November 2024 from the Glasgow, Silverburn store and had amazing service from Miranda and was very happy. I’m May this year I had a problem with on of the legs of my glasses which Cormack fixed very promptly. However a similar issue arose today and I went straight back to be greeted by Will. He was so lovely and extremely helpful. He advised me the best way forward was to get a completely new frame so the issue wouldn’t arise again, which of course I was happy to do at no extra cost to me. My new glasses were ready in 20 minutes.
I would 100% recommend Pop Specs especially for their fast, efficient and very friendly service (Will in particular). They have a fantastic range of frames to choose from and their aftercare is exceptional.
Very happy customer.

Pop specs Norwich

This is the second time I've purchased glasses here at the Norwich branch. The first time was for my wife. I was helped by Abbi and Lucia, they were both fantastic and really helped when picking the right frames. The second time was for myself. I was helped again by Abbi who was brilliant, she picked out some frames that she thought suited my face shape and that went with my aesthetic. The range of glasses were great so good infact that I bought 2 pairs! Abbi had these ready for me by the time it took me to grab a coffee. Definitely recommend!

Mixed experienced - great start but poor aftercare

I had a great initial consultation at this spectacle shop — friendly and welcoming customer service that made a strong first impression. The frames are definitely funkier and more unique than what you'd typically find on the high street, which is a plus if you're after something a bit different.

However, the experience soured when I encountered issues afterwards. The staff were noticeably less friendly — almost irritated — when I asked about a refund or raised concerns. The level of professionalism and aftercare simply didn't meet expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend them based on that.

Also worth noting: polarised lenses here are significantly more expensive than at regular high street opticians, without a clear justification for the price difference.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear that things didn’t continue as positively as they began.

We’re glad the initial consultation and frame selection made a strong impression—our aim is always to offer something a little different and memorable. That said, we’re genuinely sorry that the aftercare didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide a solution for every concern, and if the branch’s decision felt dismissive or unclear, we can only apologise that it left you feeling disappointed.

Regarding pricing, we understand that value matters and we’ll continue reviewing our offerings to ensure they’re competitive and transparent. Your feedback is appreciated and will be shared with the team to help us improve.

Thank you again for taking the time to let us know.

Great service

Great service! - Metrocentre. Rectified wrong prescription given by Specsavers without any fuss or additional cost. Spent time to discuss how I would be using the reading glasses to ensure they were correct.

Sarita is amazing! 🤩

Sarita is amazing! 🤩 She really cares and helps as much as possible. It was a really personal experience and Sarita helped me choose the right frames for my face and took into account my taste and what I wanted for my overall look. The glasses were created with my lenses so quickly too! This meant my overall experience took around an hour so would be easy to complete in a lunch break! Thank you so much ☺️ I love my new glasses, they give me confidence and make me feel very stylish! Xx

Visited Nottingham branch today and the frames are amazing! Sarita took so much time helping me choose the right one for me and was such a laugh at the same time. Dora was also helping another customer when I was there and they were getting the same top notch service.

Lovely glasses and great service

After an eye test elsewhere I was on the lookout for some glasses. Spotted the Pop Specs stand at York Outlet and picked some frames. Love the frames and the two girls working were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The glasses were ready in around 20 minutes and have been perfect since I bought them about 6 weeks ago!
